If you want to quit nicotine, we want to support your journey. Quit for Life’s clinically proven program offers a customized plan, 24/7 personal support, and strategic tools to help you manage cravings. The Nicotine Cessation Program is free for Team Members and household members 18+. For more information, visit quitnow.net/wfm or call 866-QUIT-4-LIFE.

If you are subject to the Nicotine Surcharge for a plan year, and you complete the Quit for Life program at any time during that plan year, you will begin paying the non-nicotine user contribution rates in the month following your completion of the program. Additionally, you will receive a refund for any previous surcharge payments that you made in the plan year. If it is unreasonably difficult due to a health factor for you to meet the requirements of the Quit for Life nicotine cessation program, or it is medically inadvisable for the individual to attempt to meet the requirements of the Quit for Life nicotine cessation program, the Nicotine Surcharge may be waived if you submit a Nicotine Surcharge Physician Affidavit no later than October 1st of the plan year (or within 60 days of initial enrollment, if later). The Affidavit can be found on the Benefits Enrollment Portal on myapps.wfm.com. Please contact Ask TMS or call 833-4-ASKTMS (833-427-5867) Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. CT with any questions.
